Past VPOF and current
Canada Day chairperson
Shane Carmichael is jumping
from student
to federal
politics.
As of Monday, May 8, you can get a hold of
him in Waterloo
MP Walter
McLean’s
Ottawa
office.
As McLean’s
executive
assistant, Carmichael
will be working
closely
with
our Federal
rep,
planning
his agenda and making
sure McLean
addresses
local
issues while in Ottawa.
“I’ll be continuing
on in my
commitment
to this community,
just
in a broader
perspective
now... I’ll be serving
all community members,
not just students,”
Carmichael
said.
McLean
approached
him
about the job after his former assistant
left, and Carmichael
felt
“this type of job to me is something you shouldn’t
turn down.
We’ve
discussed
a two-year
commitment,
and we’ll see how
it goes from there. It certainly
opens up a lot of doors for me.”
Carmichael
also sees it as a way
to continue
his community
service in KW.
*With
Canada
Day less than
two months
awayi there is some
concern
about
the chairperson
“I’m not really
leaving
town,
leaving
Canada
Day... over the
next little while I’ll be doing a
fair bit of travelling
back and
forth?
Carmichael
plans to be
back
in Waterloo
every
two
weeks before the big day.
“This break
(between
Carmichael and the Canada Day Council) was going to happen at some
point in time, and to me, it’s not
really
that big of a break--the
chairperson
shouldn’t
be relied
on to carry the whole load of the

event, and to be perfectly
honest,
that’s what happened...
we have
some strong
people in the steering committee
positions
that
know their stuff, and will take it
OIL”

The council
is also looking
for
a full-time
coordinator,
who will
be paid out of a government
grant
and council
funds.
This
person could handle many of the
duties
the
chairperson
has
handled
to date.
Over the past five years, KW
Canada
Day has grown
from a
small celebration
to KW’s largest
one day event. Last year, around
8,000 people visited
the campus
during the day, 5,000 saw the parade, and 50,000 watched
the
huge evening
fireworks
show.
Parade
committee
advisor
Marlene
Miles and Dean of Students Ernie Lucy agreed the Canada Day Council
has a solid
structure
in place.
Both have
been very involved
in the celebrations
here at Waterloo.
“I
think
it’s fairly
critical
that we
get someone
(to replace
Carmichael) that’s willing
to make a
fairly
major time commitment”
to Canada
Day, as Carmichael
has, Lucy said.
“He certainly
has been committed
to Canada
Day and the
good will it promotes
in the community,”
Miles
said, adding
it
would
be hard to find someone
as dedicated
to the day as he has
been over the past four years.
Carmichael
is confident
in his
ability
to work with this year’s
Canada
Day Council
at a distance. He says he will just be “a
phone call away” for organizers
that need him.
McLean
himself
has a “strong
interest”
in the celebrations,
Carmichael
says, as he initiated.

OED release

brated the cooperation
of the two
universities,
Oxford
Press’s co-editors
for
the dictionary,
Edmund
Byner
and John Simpson,
and UW President Douglas
Wright
spoke in
front of close to one hundred
guests.
Byner
summarized
the intent
of the
project
as “moving
drudgery
from man to computer,”
and Simpson
mentioned
proudly
that the dictionary
now
contains
references
to “everything
from the classics
to the
ephemeral
literature
of the
streets.”
He gave the origins
of
the term “animal
rights”
as an
example,
This
expression
was
first thought
to have been coined
in the late 196Os, but research
for
the second
edition
revealed
it
dated back to an obscure
1860s
journal.
Both British
professors
spoke
appreciatively
of Canada
and
their
relationship
with
UW.
Simpson
jokingly
called Canada
“a home away from home,” as it
is on the North American
continent, but does not hold quite the
culture
shock
of the United
States for him.
Dr.
Wright
first
thanked
Tompa and the rest of his group,

lncl uding
G.as t on Gonnet , for’
their
work.
He also thanked
Wess Graham
and John Stubbs
for their involvement.
Wright
lauded the project
as a
landmark
for computing
in the
humanities.
‘“The compufer’s
effect on language
may be more
significant
than
that
upon
numbers
and graphics.”
Back in 1984, Wright
jumped
at the chance
to cooperate
with
the oldest university
in the Eng‘lish speaking
world
on a new
version
of the definitive
dictionary of the English
language.
“I
view the computer,”
Wright
said
later, “as a tool for everyone,
not
to be limited. to math and engineering ,”
Informal

Conestoga student edits Fedbook
by Fleur

stuff

After interviewing
around ten
Waterloo
students,
the Federation executive
hired a Conestoga
College
student
as this year’s
Fed handbook
editor. The handbook, in its fourth
year, has previously
been produced
solely by
Waterloo
students.
Hiring
the handbook
editor is
one of the first jobs of the new
Federation
executive.
President
Dave Readman
and Vice-Presidents
Tim Collins
(operations
and finance)
and Fran Wdowczyk [university
affairs)
held interviews
before the winter
term
exams,
but Readman
said they
did not talk to anyone
they felt
could do the job. They held additional
interviews
after
exams
were over, and hired Martin
Cinzar, a second year student
in graphic design
and advertising
at
Conestoga
College.
“Our first priority
was to hire
somebody
from
Waterloo,
but
we felt Martin
was much better
than the other candidates,
(and
therefore)
better
for the Fed
book,”
Readman
said Cinzar impressed
them with
his knowledge of sales and design.

come from the Turnkey
coffee.
But the CC has not bien able to
rely on that income. Says Woodruff: “The bottom line is economits...
we’ve
been
absorbing
losses from the coffee for over
two years. Students
are usually
satisfied
when it’s explained
to
them that the money goes back to
them in the form of CC services.”
She attributes
the losses to rising prices of coffee and supplies;
bio-degradable
cups [twice
the
price
of Styrofoam
ones);
increased
use of the larger-capacity mugs; and abuse of the old
honour
system
by a minority
of
patrons.
Last fall, the honour
system
was replaced
by “behind-thecounter”
coffee sales to protect
CC patrons,
although
Woodruff
says she is confident
of integrity
of the majority
of CC regulars.
Some
students
have
complained
that paper cups lead to
cold coffee and burnt fingers,
but
in the end it is a trade-off,
says
Woodruff.
“Students
seemed to
have wanted
the bio-degradable
ones.” She is considering
the use
of a Styrofoam
cup that does not
release
fluorocarbons
into the
environme&
but could not say
whether
such
a move
would
change coffee prices.

They also hired Waterloo
English
graduate
student
Steve
McCutcheon
to act as assistant
editor.
Cinzar
later told Imprint
that
he has no sales experience,
but
has good presentation
skills and
is well
versed
in design
and
layout.
He expressed
no reservations about putting
the book out
in time,
despite
his relatively
late start.“When
the thing is due,
it will be done.”
He is currently
talking
to people about what they would
like
to see in the 1989-90 handbook.
“I don’t believe
I have all the
good ideas (though)
I do have
different
ones.”
Cinzar
says
his
graphic
courses
have taught
him to be
very critical
of publications,
and
he wants
completely
re-design
the book. He is looking at including more maps, not only of the
campus+ but also a fold-out
map
of KW if possible,
and said “the
quality
of the photos could go up
about 100 per cent.”
Cinzar
hopes
to produce
a
book students,
especially
those
riew to Waterloo,
will rely on
much
more,
“It’s
a handbook,
and it should
be like the Scout
handbook...a
kind of Bible.”

also a sense of working

Brunger
notes GM has structured the race to ensure a feeling
of unity as well. According
to the
race rules,, “All cars will gather
at a common
stopping
point each
night...
the day-end
stops along
the route will provide
gathering
points
for all the participating
teams.”
The race winner
will be
the car with the lowest elapsed
d time in completing
the entire
course.
The highest
speed achieved
by
a solar car to date is 80 miles an
hour, a record
set in November
1987. The distinction
belongs to
GM’s “Sunraycer.”
Built at a cost
of over $6 million, the Sunraycer
reached
average
speeds of about
42 miles per hour at The World
Solar Challenge
in Australia.
If the 1JW team wins
next
summer’s
race, they will compete in 1990’s World Solar Challenge.
Next summer
will not be the
first time IJW students
have entered vehic:les in races. UW won
Canada’s
first solar car race last
spring
using
a photo-voltaic
(PV) vehicle,
powered
by relatively
inexpensive
solar
cells
similar
to those used in calculators.
UW engineers
have also
won national
and international
prizes
for fuel-efficiency
with
student-built
cars.
“In England,
we achieved
the
third-highest
miles per gallon in
the world,”
says Brunger.
“We’re

he grins.

came

Committee’s

avenues
in the faculties,
and
policies
of other
Canadian
universities.
Right now, appeal procedures
vary from one faculty
to another:
this
new
policy
is meant
to
standardize
the rules and meet
with
“standards
of natural

as defined
by Ontario’s

These
standards
require
that all parties
be heard, and no
one be the judge over his or her
own decisions.
The policy
also
creates
a University
Committee

on Student
Appeals
(USCA)
to
be the “final adjudicator”
of all
student
appeals.
The policy
separates
student
grievances
into two types. Type

mark
given
to an
essay. Such grievances
can only
normally
be appealed
to the
faculty
committee
level, unless
the student
can convince
the
UCSA chairperson
there is “new
substantive
evidence
or denial of
natural
justice.”
Type two appeals
involve
all
other
grievances,
including
matters
of bias or
discrimination,
procedural
errors,
or denial
of natural
justice.
These
cases
can
be
appealed past the faculty
level to
the UCSA.
The committee’s
report
notes
that the majority
of cases neirer
reach
the formal
appeal
stage
anyway,
making
pre-appeal
measures
a priority.
It sets out
procedures
for precursors
to

appeals,
such as formal inquiries
and re-reads.
The report
also recommends
the
appeals
policy
have
jurisdiction
over non-academic
matters
in areas
like
ethics,
village
residences,
library
fines,
and traffic
and parking
offences.
None of these areas presently
enjoy
formal
procedures
that
ensure fairness.
The committee
even suggests
grievances
concerning
fees be
dealt with by the UCSA instead
of the Board
of Governors,
as
they are now. It argues that the
present
system is “cumbersome”
and that the UCSA “will likely
have the experience
in dealing
with appeals
which
the Board
will lack .”
The committee
stresses
the
importance
of student
involvement
in the process,
as it
recommends
that “each tribunal
hearing
academic
offence
or
breach
of student
discipline
charges
include
a student
member.”

Come see your
name in print
This spring, I made my way from the assistant editor’s chair
to that of the editor’s, officially
I assumed power April 1, but
in reality the shift came about gradually,
my mentor fading
out much as the snow dissipated from the streets of Waterloo.
One day I found it was all gone, and so was he.
As people found out about my new duties, they offered
suggestions and criticisms, Many seemed surprised that the
editor’s job was a full-time one. Over and over again I found
myself explaining
how Imprint is run.
What I’m working my way toward here is another explanation of Imprint’s structure. The full-time staff consists of an
advertising
manager, who sells and produces the ads, a business manager, who handles the financial end of the newspaper, a production
manager, who does typesetting
and
layout, and myself. But four people do not produce what you
see lying in doorways across campus and around town every
Friday we publish. Imprint is really run by its volunteers.
Lately we have come under fire for sexism in the Arts
section, running
strip ads, cancelling
Eric Kuelker’s
One
Christian
Perspective
column, missing coverage on some
campus events, and dwelling on our own interests more than
those of the student body.
Anyone who has attended an Imprint staff meeting knows
that these kinds of things come up around the table, and we
make an effort to share them with our readergin editorials and
comment pieces.
As editor, I am listening to people’s concerns, and am thinking about how we can address them. But it cannot all come
from me. I have,plenty
of my own ideas, but I am responsible
to the volunteer staff, and to members of Imprint Publications
Incorporated-a
member being any student that has paid
their $3. per term Imprint incidental fee. That is, you! I can try
and represent your interests as much as possible, but you can
surely represent them better.
Our main reader forum is the letters to the editor pages.
This is a standard newspaper feature. However, unlike big
dailies, and even little weeklies, we offer our readers something more: the chance to become
our writers.
Feel free to come down to CC140,guzzle
coffee, hack away
at the computers, and spout your views at the weekly Friday
staff meetings. You may never have a better chance to see
your name in print.

You cannot prove God’s existence
To the editor,
In his March
13 letter “Reader
questions
OCP explanation,”
Ed
Rae indicated
that E. Kuelker’s
arguments
in his
cancelled
weekly
column could lead to belief in God. He also wrote about
airtight
reasoning
and self-evident assumptions
in arguments
against
religion.

At times, E. Kuelker
attempted
to prove
the existence
of God
using scientific
arguments.
The
English
Cardinal
J.H.
Newman
held that no one ever
died for the propositions
in an
argument.
Yet, multitudes
have
been martyrs
of Christian
faith,
which depends
on bel’ief without
proof,
and thus convinced
others.

Indeed, .if the existence
of God
were proven,
Christianity
would
end, for faith would
not be required anymore.
Airtight
reasoning
and selfevident
assumptions
are fading
concepts,
,for all human propositions
are fallible
due to man’s
continuous
ignorance
of the extent and consequences
of the unknown.
For example,
science is argued
by the stritit logic of mathematics, Yet, quantum
physics
is uncertain
whether
matter
consists
of particle
or wave, and thus proposes a basic
fallibility
in the
philosophy
of physical
science.
In contrast
to the Bible, astronomers
and geologists
calculate
immense
past
eras
for
heaven
and earth,
and resolve
vast differences
in ages using
sets of a.ssumptions.
Yet, the
eras depend
ultimately
on the
uniform
‘rates
for natural
processes over the calculated
past,
which
is a fallible
proposition
because
nonuniform
rates
render
vastly
different
eras.
Human
reasoning
always
involves uncertain
proposition%.
Since it is impossible
to have
faith without
doubts,
the faithful cannot be certain
either. Nevertheless,
history
indicates
that faith
is so much stronger
than reason.

Public Interest
Research is
WPlRG’s goal
Are you worried
about the deterioration
of the
ozone layer, the silent destruction
of our lakes
and forests by acid rain, your rights as a tenant,
or the lack of a campus
wide recycling
program?
Have you often thought
about doing something
about these problems,
but could not find a way
to get involved?
For more than 15 years the Waterloo
Public
Interest
Research
Group (WPIRG)
has provided
an outlet for concerned
UW students
to work
actively
on a variety
of environmental
and social
issues. Through
a blend of research,
education
and action,
students
can increase
their understanding
of the relationships
between
social and
environmental
issues while working
for change.
WPIRG offers UW students
valuable
information. Unlike the university
libraries,
WPIRG has
concentrated
mainly on providing
social and environmental
resources
to the university
community.
We have
an extensive
collection
of
books, files and periodicals
on a variety
of topics, including
acid rain, waste
management,
water supply/
pollution,
native rights,
forestry,
South Africa,
and much more. Books and periodicals can be borrowed
for two weeks - vertical
files can be used in our office or photocopied.
WPIRG provides
students
with the opportunity to do research
that will benefit both the community
and the student.
UW students
can learn
the skills
of public

Activism in East Germany
by Marc Brzustowski
Imprint staff
Brought
to the Campus
Centre
April
10 by Neither
East nor
West, an organization
of nonaligned peace and human rights
workers,
Wolfgang
Templin
told
students
about
the history
of
peace and human rights activism
in East Germany,
Templin,
speaking
through
a
translator,
described
the special
history
of his native
country,
and its influence
on internal
dissent
since World
War Ii in
contrast
with the other nations
of
Eastern
Europe.
East
Germany,
he explained,
did not
have the same postwar
tradition
of protest
that Poland, Hungary
and
Czechoslovakia
shared
because
of that
country’s
relatively
open border with West
Germany
until the building
of
the wall, The groups who formed
the opposition
to the government
in the other
Eastern
European
states were groups who left East
Germany
in the decade
and a
half following
the war.
Little
political
opposition
to
the East German
government
existed
in the 1960s and 197os,
he said. In return
for a rising
standard
of living
and better
working
conditions,
the
government
placed
limits
on
political
freedoms.
The peace

Exiled peace activist Wolfgang

movement
that developed
grew
out the collapse
of detente in the
late
1970’s,
and
ensuing
militarization
of society.
The army began to assume
a
greater
role
in life, bringing
military
and
job
training
together
and
filling
the
kindergartens
with
war
toys,
among-other
trends. Groups then
began
to discuss
an end to
demilitarization
and the draft,
often
in conjunction
with
the
Protestant
Church,
combining
a
Christian
perspective
with
pacifism.
These groups
met with harsh
political
repression,
Templin
reported.
Some
were
arrested
(Templin
himself
wtis arrested
and forced
into temporary
exile
in West Germany
for a two year
“study-stay”),
while others were
repressed
educationally
and jobwise.
The political
repression
forced
upon the East German
activists
the question
of what made their
desire
for peace a subversive
factor;
Templin
asserted
this
realization
pushed
the peace
movement
to address the issue of
human rights.
During
the
same
time,
environmental
and
women’s
groups
began to form, and felt
the same repression.
They found
shelter
only
in the Protestant
Church.

In
1988,
Templin
began
publishing
an underground
journal,
and was a major force in
the growth
of the independent
movement.
He sees most of the
opportunities
for change arising
out
of Mikhail
Gorbach’ev’s
reforms
in the Soviet Ufiion, and
insists
that this movement
from
below
must
be intimately
connected
with the everyday
life
problems
and experiences
of the
East German
people. He does not
see the future
of East Germany
to be tied to capitalism,
but
envisions
a independent
socialist
viewpoint
as a political
base.
He plans to continue
exploring
the possibility
for cooperation
between
groups
throughout
Eastern
Europe,
such
as
Solidarity
in Poland,
when he
returns
to East Germany.

FOR MORE INFORMATION

Research
using the new computerized
OED is wide-ranging
in scope.
According
to Dr.
Tampa,
one academic
is conducting
an analysis
of baby-talk
in the English
language,
a task
reduced
to mortal
proportions
by the speed and versatility
of
the dictionary.
Tampa
anticipates
researchers
will apply
the software, programs
called GOEDEL
and PAT, to a variety
of other
texts. The system
being shown
at the reception,
he said, had access to on-line
versions
of the
Bible, the Free Trade Agreement,
and The Hound
of the Bashervilles.
Using the software
to analyze
works
of literature
can reveal
patterns
and relationships
that
would be practically
impossible
to find manually.
One researcher
wrote a paper on colour imagery
in The Hound
of the Baskervilles, using the OED software
to
show
dominant
ref.erences
to
black and white.
Qxford’s
Professor
Byner prei
dieted the third edition would be
released in another
fifteen years.
’ Both UW’s
New OED group
and Oxford
University
are looking into the best way to make the
computerized
OED available
to
the public. You may soon be able
to buy a copy on CD-ROM
for
your home computer,
though the
hardware
may pose a problem.
The system
currently
runs on
SUN
workstations,
certainly
more sophisticated
display
devices than the average
PC clone.

ARTS

by Peter Brown
Imprint
staff
John Irving
was near, but not
quite behind,
a pulpit for his recent Waterloo
appearance.
The
First United Church
made an appropriate
setting for his April 22
reading
from A Prayer for Owen
Meony,
his latest celebration
of
humanity
and belief.
Irving
is an author
skilled
at
his craft,
someone
who takes
years to write a novel, and leaves
little
to a&dent.
Among
his
credits
are such best-sellers
as
The World
According
to Garp,
The
Cider
House
Rules,
and
Hotel New Hampshire,
all marvelously
sensible
and complete
accounts
of the humour
and eccentricity
in everyday
life.
Irving
first
explained
that
after numerous
readings,
he was
tired of making
selections
from
the beginning
of the novel, but
that to read from
the end required
too much explanation
of
context.
He thep downplayed
this, saying that ‘there is a great
need for synopses
in America
today,”
especially
with an American vice-president
who does not
read (Dan Quayle].
He chose three significant
passages from the first one hundred
or so pages of Owen Meany. In a
deep, articulate
voice,
Irving
began at the beginning,
establishing the close relationship
between the narrator,
II-year
old
Johnny
Wheelwright,
and his
best friend,
the tiny, sickly,
and
prophetic
Owen
Meany.
Wheelwright
says: “I am a Christian because
of Owen
Meany,”
who has the distinguishing
feature of a saueakv,
falsetto
voice.
Irving
tKen skipped
to a scene

of Johnny
and Owen
playing
with
a stuffed
armadillo,
in
which
one hides it in a vast ancient closet for the other to find
in a thrill of fright.
The third
excerpt
included
a
dog’s funeral
that foreshadows
one of the
most
significant
events
in the
book:
Owen
Meany’s
accidental
killing
of
Johnny’s
mother
with a foul ball
resulting
from a rare swing. This
act, for a boy who does not believe
in accidents,
convinces
Meany that he must be God’s instrument,
and Irving’s
narrator
speaks
with
a reverence
that

supports
this belief,
Responding
to questions
from
the audience
afterward,
Irving
provided
useful insight
into the
man behind
the books. He answered the standard
“Who’s your
favourite
of your characters?”
with Dr. Wilbur
Larch from The
Cider
House
Rules.
Irving
explained
he enjoys
characters
who demand a great deal of work
to develop.
“I think
I should
be asking
why some of you find bears so
interesting,”
he said, downplaying
the importance
of that
animal as a recurring
symbol
in

his earlier work. I-Ie pointed
out
there are other thematic
structures that are more significant
and span all seven of his novels.
Each book features
an incomplete family,
one that is “missing
a part,”
and all of his work includes
social violence
as part of
the North American
malaise.’
Irving
disagreed
with a questioner who felt he had freqentlyoccurring
accidents
in his
novels,
and
offered
the
Kennedys’
assassination
as an
example
of an accident
in real
life that had a more profound
effect than any in his novels.
“My
characters
aren’t
really
eccentric.
Most of my characters
are much more sensible
and explainable
than many
people in
the news...
Ronald
Reagan is a
more incredible
character
than
anyone
in my novels.”
Irving
acknowledged
a Dickensian
icfluence:
“I admire
the
nineteenth
century
concept
of
the novel,”
but disagreed
that
Dickens
had little of the common
sense humour
found in Irving’s
work.
“Dickens
taught
me everything I feel I need to know about
comedy,”
he said. “To convince
the reader,
emotionally
or intellectually,
to laugh or cry” takes
the same attachment
or identification with the characters.
“Laurel and Hardy are also among my
favourites,”
Irving
admitted
unapologetically that he does not put a lot of
himself into his novels. “If I were
to write
an autobiographical
novel, I’d produce
one mediumsized volume.
Buta novel is supposed to be an invention.”
He
described
much
of present-day
__
1
_.
writing
as showing
an “impover-

ishment
of imagination.”
He also outlined
his own writing process,
stressing
the importance of plot. “I start with a year
to eighteen
months
where I don’t
write.
I just work out the plot,
from end to beginning.”
He then
writes
two orders of events,
one
strictly
chronological
and
another
detailing
the order
in
which
he wishes
to inform
the
reader of events.
“I’ve read a lot
of recent
books,”
he said, “in
which
I can tell that the author
only
knows
what’s
going
to
happen five or six pages ahead of
me.”
Both trving’s
recent
familiarity
with
Canada
and Owen
Meany’s
Wheelwright
ending up
a “failed
American
ex-patriot”
livihg
in Toronto
prompted
a
question
of the author’s
perceptions of, and relationship
with,
this
country.
He replied
that
with growing
up outside
of Boston, he was familiar
with Toronto
and
Montreal,
and
expected
upon arrival
to be met
essentially
by people much like
Americans.
We surprised
-him,
however:
“I now notice differences more often than I do similarities.”
He gave a closing
bash to the
Free Trade
Agreement,
saying
the most notable
difference
between the two countries
is that
“Canada
has
this
instinctive
sense that the welfare

any deal

“You know
what gets me? You become
famous
and all of a
sudden you can’t swear anymore.
What the fuck is this?”
This is Sass Jordan, and Imprint
caught up with her a few weeks
ago while she was in Toronto
to promote
her debut album Tell
Somebody.
This girl has got quite the attitude,
but rightly
so considering
the flock of groupies
she had hanging
around.
One of them even
offered to pay me to introduce
him to her. I agreed-free
of charge-but
then I soon found out that his interest
in her had little to do
,with her music.
Her looks me certainly
an asset, but considering
she was recently
honoured
with a Juno for most promising
female,vtist,
she deserves
to be taken seriously.
Well, maybe-.‘.‘honclarred”
is too
strong
a word. Sass certainly
isn’t taking
it too seriously.
“I don’t think I won anything
over anybody
else” she says, “I’m
sure they all worked
just as hard as I did. It’s all just a matter of
taste. The award
hasn’t
changed
anything.
It got me a lot of
publicity
at the time, but that’s about it.”
As far as Sass is concerned,
the music
business
is way too
conservative.
“This is supposed
to be rock and roll-remember!”
Rock she does, for not only is her album doing well here in Canada,
she is also waiting
for the release of Tell Somebody
south of the
border.
“I’d love to get into the States and make some money...
I love
Canada,

this

is

where

I’m

from,

but

you

can’t

‘make

any

money

here. Not in this business’
not really a yway.”
Sass is currently
wrapping
up her Ca adian tour, but for those
of you who missed
her performance
t the Highlands
in Cambridge’
there’s
a good chance
she’ll
e back there again this
summer.

The unkindest cut: fatal, levity
by John Ryan
Imprint

staff

“Good
evening
Toronto,
it’s
been far too long,” was the happy
message
with which
Jaz started
the show. I’m sure that everyone
thought
he was referring
to the
fact that the Joke hadn’t played
the area for seven years. But I’d
like to think
that he was acknowledging
the fact that his
band has long outlived
its usefulness
as a viable musical
force.
The tenth anniversary
tour.
Jaz and his troupe of wandering
minstrels
seem
to have
chained
themselves
to an endless treadmill
of futility,
the
ninth circle
of hell in the rock
and roll creation.
Their
lives,

and by extension,
our lives, are
pointless
exercises
in Spain and
suffering.
Apart
from that, how was the
show
itself?
Actually,
not too
bad,
The
opening
band,
Sturm
Group,
could
use a collective
brain and vocal transplant,
butthey
earned
my affection
by
keeping
their set under half an
hour.
As for Killing
Joke, let’s
just say that they had their moments.
Of course, the highlights
were
the oldies. Requiem,
Change,and
The Wait might be ancient
history in the post-punk
pantheon,
but they are truly “classics”.
Killing
Joke is using this tour
to try out material
for the next
album,
to be entitled
Extremi-

ties.
Another
high
point
occurred
when Jaz pontificated
at
some length about the world and
its ills. Top points
for humour,
lads.
So what else can be said that
won’t be disclosed
in our mystical, soon-to-be-printed
interview with the Jokesters?
Jaz still
paints
his face funny
colours,
but he has eschewed
playing
keyboards
in favor of hopping
around like a tortured
goblin and
playing
frontman.
Instead an anonymous
minion was hidden behind the stacks
of speakers
to
toil and slave over a hot synthesizer.
And of course, it being RPM,
the volume
was well past the
threshold
of pain. Earplugs
were
well in order.

-ted
et birth? Prince and Jaz Cdemm
An exercise
in futility,
an exthe road ahead is long and I have
orcism
of the future?

other calls to make in my rounds.

Good evening.

Film says: noone is innocent
by John Zacharaih
Imprint
staff
Propelled
by a tour-de-force
from, of all people, Kevin Bacon,
Criminal
Law is a challenging
morality
play set within
a crime
thriller
narrative.
The movie is
flawed
in its latter
role, peppered with inconsistencies
and
one-dimensional
characters,
but
such weaknesses
can be forgiven.
This picture
is a first rate modern fable, debunking
consensus
morality
by presenting
a vicious
rapist
as the only
important
character
with any stable moral
foundation,
Using
this character, Criminal
Law also makes a
compelling
case for values-relativism,
and what
makes things

unnerving
is hearing
an unbalanced psychfotic
argue an apparently
unassailable
moral
position.
Bacon plays Martin
Thiel, on
trial for a brutal rape/murder
[as
one of the investigating
officers
comments,
“I’m not sure which
he did first”).
His defense counsel is Ben Chase (Gary Oldman),
an agile barrister
who manages
to convince
the jury of Thiel’s
innocence.
Chase thinks
Thiel was guilty,
though;
getting
him back on the
street was just part of his job. He
comes to regret his success, however,
when
two
more
dead
women
turn
up. Thiel
is the
prime
suspect,
and Chase
decides to take on his case in an

effort to find information
which
will convict
him.
Thiel is a killer who truly believes what he is doing is right.
He says to Clhase, “I made a judgment, and I have acted upon that
judgment.”
Chase, on the other
hand, grapples
with the guilt he
feels by betraying
a client.
He
has no doubt of Thiel’s guilt but,
because
of his role in society,
is
prevented
from
acting
as his
conscience
dictates
he should.
I
don’t want to give any more of
this movie away, so I’ll stop now.
Just go see it. Criminal
Law is
genuinely
thought-provoking,
which
is rare for major-studio
releases these days. Bacon’s performance
alone is worth
twice
the price of admission.

Nominations

DR. DISCby Derek Weiler
Imprint
staff

“Good for what
1
ails ya!”
-DR. DISC

A review
of Queen Elvis, or,
How To Chum Out Q StondardIssue Robyn Hitchcock
Album in
Four Easy Steps.
Step One: Show off your fondness for the macabre
and the
whimsical.
One
glance
at the album
sleeve-featuring
a picture
of
Hitchcock’s
hand literally
vegetating,
and song titles like Madonna of the Wasps, Veins of the
Queen,
and The Devil’s
Coachman-and
you know
this guy’s
weJtanschauung
is just a tad offkilter.
But that’s barely
scratching the surface.
Within
the grooves lie a veritable feast
of ridiculous-to-sublime lyrics;
this album
is one
forty-minute
non
sequitur.
Check
these
out:
“She’s
a
squeaking
head on a pleasure
box” (Superman);
“The universe
is based on sullen entropy”
(The
DeviJ’s
Comhman);
“If I were
man enough
I’d come on your
stump”
(Wax Doll). Those aren’t
even some of the choice
ones.
Whoa.
Step Two: Include
a batch of
songs featuring
sprightly
basslines,
aching
harmony
vocals,
and ringing guitar (if at allpossible, you should
get your friend
Peter Buck to guest on a couple
tunes).
Sure enough,
there’s plenty of
songs here filling
that bill, like
the opening
Madonna
of the
Wasps,
which
could
be tossed
onto any Hitchcock
LP since Fegmania!
without
sounding
the
slightest
bit out of place (and
Madonna
of the Wasps is a truly
beautiful
song; trouble
is, it’s a
beauty
that’s already
been fully
explored
in previous
Hitchcock
tunes like Airscope
and The Crawling).
One Long Pair of Eyes, Veins
of the Queen and Superman
are
also cut from
essentially
the
same cloth. One song, The Devil’s Coachman,
takes
this
approach
to the extreme
to provide
an absolutely
authentic
Beatles
ripoff
that
outdoes
anything
Andy Partridge
ever dreamed
of.
And
sure enough,
Peter
Buck
does indeed turn in some (uncredited]
guitar
work
on Queen
Elvis,
as he did on last year’s
Globe of Frogs.

TREE

172 KING

Slipping

You the Midnight

Fish

Step Three: Throw
in a couple
of ethereal,
pseudo-haunting
numbers.
Yes. There’s
also plenty
of
songs in the “other”
Hitchcock
style.
Wax DoJJ, Knife and Autumn Sea all reflect
Hitchcock’s
contention
that music should be
“dignified”
above all else. Unfortunately,
Hitchcock
has always
had a problem
reconciling
“dignified”
and “interesting”;
he has
yet to successfully
combine
the
two.
Step Four: Toss in some token
superficial
“surprises”
to maintain the illusion
that you’re
developing
and growing
as an
artist.
Chiefest
among
these is the
downright
shocking
dearth
of
fish imagery
on this album,
an
unprecedented
Hitchcock
move.

In the Hitchcockian
view, fishliness is next to Godliness,
so its
puzzling
that here he throws
his
underwater
friends
over
for
frogs, wasps and other wildlife,
There are also a couple unusual
embellishments
on the
album, like the trilling,
medieval
horns on Veins of the Queen and
One Long Pair of Eyes, or the
spoken-word
narrative
on Autumn Sea. Perhaps
most notable,
though,
is Freeze: the guitar and
drums here hint at a raunchiness
that’s
been absent
from Hitchcock’s work since his days with
the Soft Boys.
But none of these seem to represent
a genuine
departure;
they all seem token and superficial at best, and they don’t mask
the fact ihat Queen Elvis varies
not an inch from the already
wel-

The next wave of the Irish invasion
landed on the beaches
of
the Fed Hall fortress
way back
on April 30. Hothouse
Flowers,
those
good-natured
lads with
lots of hair, playing
at certainly
the most intimate
and cozy of
campus
venues, provided
the end-of-term
crowd with a spirited
and energetic
show.
But first,
some words
on the
opening act in the person of Martin Stephenson
of Newcastle,
England.
J almost
preferred
him to the main attraction.
But not quite. From their opening greeting
to their foot-stomping finale,
Hothouse
Flowers
came to entertain.
Though
their
sourid has more roots in American R&B than traditional
Irish
music
forms,
this five-member
group makes enough use of some
folk instruments
and melodies
to
pl”&e them apart.
One thing’s
certain:
they know how to bring
a crowd to its feet.
Lead singer Liam O’Maonlay’s
eccentric
good looks
led to an
over-representation
of females
at his end of the stage, but this
didn’t appear to distract
him. His
flowing
blond
hair tufted
out
from under a weathered
hat that
corroborated
their discovery
by
UZ, and he could rock socks even
seated at his electric
piano. His
soulful
voice was the blossom
of
this band as it trilled
and lamented
its way through
songs
both celebratory
and regretful.
His performance
left only one
question:
What’s he saying?!!
Except for lines repeated
in cho-

Frehley’s

Comet crashes in flames

the vocals
were
often
ruses,
undecipherable
for those of us
without
the album.
The other band-members,
like
the leader, exhibited
superb musicianship
>and a real desire
to
give the audience
a good time.
The Flowers
really
cooked
on
some snappy
piano and percussion-driven
numbers
like their
hit Don’t Go, which
Liam facetiously
introduced
as *‘our favourite
song in the world.”
They
also inserted
the obligatory
audience
participation,
but
avoided
much of the cliche
by
capturing
the Fed Hall audience’s usually
brief attention
span.
The Flowers
smelled the sweetest on two mellow
numbers
near the end. These
soothing

tunes established
the charisma
of the lead singer
as the maj’or
appeal
of this band. And you
could, briefly,
hear the lyrics.
The
band
encored
with
another
bright
and
speeding
tune, making
the crowd a happy
and bouncing
mass of won-over
concert-goers.
In fact, when the
lights
came
up, few
if any
wanted
to leave.
Those
left
standing
looked
like the concert
was
worth
the ten-some-odd
bucks spent,
One last note: look out for
Martin
Stephenson,
the opening
act. Great stuff. His new album
arrived
at our humble
office
after the concert,
so check this
issue for jhe review.
Buy it, even
if you have to sell your cat.

A look ahead at Imprint Sports
The summer
term is fairly quiet when it comes to varsity
sports
action.
About
the only activity
right now is football
training
camp, as Dave “Tuffy”
Knight
is determined
to beat the Warriors
unfortunate
30 game skid.
After
Knight’s
extensive
scouting
search this past term, and his influential
debut on the side lines,
look for some changes
this season, including
a possible
end to the
losing streak.
In the summer
months,
I will be writing
a series of sports
features,
while keeping you informed
of incoming
varsity
sports
news and the latest Campus
Recreation
updates.
As usual, there will be features
done on the university’s
most
popular
and high profile sports: basketball,
footbalI,
and hockey.
However,
keep your eyes open for other interesting
features
in the
sports pages this summer.
In

one

such

article,

I, will

be

discussing

the

increasing

popularity
of women
in hockey,
women’s
leagues,
and the
possibility
of a future

team here at
Waterloo.
